N/A Value

[Jorge.andres.o]

I am creating an indicator that will record the price each time a condition happens. However, the indicator only shows N/A when loaded in the chart. Since the indicator compiles, how can I find the error?

    Period                        = 7;

                AddPlot(new Stroke(Brushes.Blue, 2), PlotStyle.Dot, NinjaTrader.Custom.Resource.RangeValue);
            }
            else if (State == State.Configure)
            {
                AddDataSeries(BarsPeriodType.Tick, 1);
            }
            else if (State == State.Configure)
            {
                Volumen = VOL(); Print(Volumen);
                wma = SMA(Volumen, Period); Print(wma);

            }
        }

        protected override void OnBarUpdate()
        {
            //Add your custom indicator logic here.
            if(CurrentBars[1] < Period)
                return;

            if(BarsInProgress == 2){
                if( CrossAbove(Volumen, wma, 1) )
                    Value[0] = Closes[1][0];
            }
        }​

Hello Jorge.andres.o,

Indicator plots are synchronized with the primary series, BarsInProgress 0, only.

Further, you have a cross above condition that must be true for the plot series to be assigned a value. The plot will have not have a value assigned for all bars where there was no cross.

Likely, you are not setting a value for every primary bar for the plot for BarsInProgress 0.

Do you really want to be using a plot if you are not assigning a value on every primary bar?

Perhaps you want to use a drawing object like Draw.Dot() to mark bars where a cross has occurred?

Hello Chelsea,

Can you explain me the following?

“…Likely, you are not setting a value for every primary bar for the plot for BarsInProgress 0...” can you provide and example please?

“…Indicator plots are synchronized with the primary series, BarsInProgress 0, only…” Can I use multi-timeframes with the indicators?

Thank you so much

Hello Jorge.andres.o,

Attached is an example.

Multi-time frame indicators must plot from the primary series only.
